Coming to you with an urgent update, friend: With early voting underway, the people of Georgia are casting ballots as we speak – and our grassroots movement to restore moral leadership to our government and win back the Senate majority has reached the most important stage ever. 

As we reach this critical juncture, all the latest polling shows that this race is neck and neck – meaning that every single vote, and every single dollar we spend to reach voters where they're at, matters immensely. 

That brings me to some bad news: Right when we need to be ramping up our organizing efforts and TV ads, we're facing a major $750,000 fundraising shortfall. Luckily, a group of donors is matching all gifts to help turn things around, but only until midnight tonight. 

Our fundraising gap is only growing as Mitch McConnell and the GOP are funneling record-breaking sums of big-donor money into Georgia to defeat us, so your support couldn't be more urgent. Truly, what we do in moments like this will decide whether we win or lose come Jan. 5. 

So I am personally asking: Will you make a contribution of $5 or more before midnight – and have every dollar doubled – to help us hit our $750,000 mid-month goal, win in Georgia and take back the Senate?

What you give now will have the greatest impact at the most critical moment for our campaign – so thank you in advance.
